Singapore Anyone?



Today Kathi almost got the ride of her life thanks to a spitting cobra. As Kathi was entering her classroom from her outside entrance she literally almost stepped on a three to four foot spitting cobra that was passing in front of her at the base of the door. She had her foot suspended above it when she realized that it was there. If she would not have caught it out of the corner of her eye and actually stepped on it, she and I would've been on our way to Singapore aboard the medical flight. We are ready for a break from camp but I think we will wait until Spring Break!

The picture here is one from the internet. Kathi just knew it was a snake but once the science teacher came down to wrangle it he became agitated and began striking and spitting in his general direction. Our science teacher thought that discretion is the better part of valor so we called camp pest control. Unfortunately by the time they showed up the snake was gone and we were unable to get any pictures. Maybe next time. Indonesia is so exciting!
